Puppet + Raze as Venice

[Blicero]

Has anyone come across the inability to raze a city after you puppet it as Venice? I am not seeing the option. Maybe it's a bug? Regardless, it is making me unhappy in my current game - literally...

That is because you can't raze a puppet. You'd have to be able to annex it to raze it. And Venice can't annex.

That's not entirely true for Venice.

It is true that a City once puppeted cant then be razed, irregardless of your civ. But Venice can raze and then stop the razing at which point it becomes a puppet instead of an annexed city like others would.

Basically as Venice if you want to raze a city you must do it when first given the option, if you choose Puppet there is no going back

OP, this is by design. Next time consider more carefully.

And actually there is an easier bug to take control of a puppet as Venice than the turn you conquer a city select raze and then stop.
Just be in strategic mode when you click on a puppet and it will prompt if you want to annex. (Which in turn would let you raze)

Sell the city to another civ?

DoW a city state and leave the city defenseless.
